I Installed Box for Salesforce and Use Apex Action「Get Folder ID By Record ID」 by Flow. But I get an Error mail everytime. From: FlowApplication <info@jp.salesforce.com> Date: ***** Subject: フロー「Target Folder Under Account」でエラーが発生しました: An Apex error occurred: box.Toolkit.BoxApiException: エラー要素 boxID_Parent (FlowActionCall)。 An Apex error occurred: box.Toolkit.BoxApiException: I don’t know what a happen.

I am creating a Custom Portal ( Box Application ) using OAuth for authentication (NextAuth). The Box environment is configured with SSO via Azure. I’m seeking clarification if this is possible. I recall skimming through the developer site that this isn’t. I’m not able to find that reference.

Is there a flow bulk pattern for creating Box Folders with default batch size of 200. When I insert 200 custom object records, I want 200 box folders created. Reducing batch size works, but not ideal. In the debug logs I see multiple SOQL queries executed by the Box managed package for a single Folder create which ends up tripping the salesforce limits - An Apex error occurred: System.LimitException: box:Too many SOQL queries: 101

Is there API endpoint to count the number of files under a folder? We can get the counts by iteratively getting the counts under subfolder. This is resource intensive and does not seem to be a good way to get the counts especially because there is a request rate limit imposed.

Hello. I would like to update the tracking code in PowerShell, but when I run the following code, I get a 400 error. $token = "<access token>" $uri = 'https://api.box.com/2.0/users/<user id>' $headers = @{"Authorization" = "Bearer " + $token} $body = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("tracking_codes": [ { "type": "tracking_code", "name":"<tracking code name>",value":"<tracking code value> "}]) Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Body $body -ContentType 'application/json' ▼Error content + Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Body $body ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand Could you please let me know if there is any part of the code that is wrong?

I created the access_token through Enterprise ID. The authentication method used was Client Credentials Grant. I obtained the access_token. I called the ‘List items in folder’ API using this access_token. I entered 0 for ‘folder_id’. However, as a result, no error message appeared and ‘total_count’ was output as 0. Clearly this folder exists. So I made the same call to the ‘List items in folder’ API using the ‘Developer Token’. The folder was output normally. Why can’t I get a list of folders when I create an access_token with ‘enterprise ID’? reference. If I create an access_token using OAuth 2.0, I can get the list of folders normally. Thanks.

Hello, I’m just getting started with Box CLI and need a way to batch remove hundreds of external users that have tens of thousands of collaborations within an enterprise. We can remove one at a time from the legacy admin dashboard, but I’d like to do this in batch via Box CLI, as advised by Box Support. I can’t find any documentation on external users specifically, only on the individual collaborations of managed users. Thoughts? -Vlad Weinstein

Introducing: Template APIs for Box Sign! Finally we can use the ‘/sign_request’ end point to create a signature request. Let’s start with the ‘template_id’: This functionality is currently broken. If a template_id is added to a sign_request, the request fails with a 404. Without the template_id, the sign request works as expected. The same 404 behavior is seen with the sign_templates/:template_id request to get a specific template by ID.

I have created application with Client Credentials Grant and when i am trying to use it with box_subject_type=user. i am getting “Grant credentials are invalid” error. I have checked client ID and client secret and user ID. Also I have checked App Access Only as i am trying with user subject type Note: I am using newly created free account without any subscription or trial

I’m trying to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and I keep getting 401 unauthorized errors. I know for sure that I’m using my correct Client ID and Client Secret, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong.

As per Box documentation, the clearCache function of Content Explorer should force reload the items. But when I call the same function, I don’t see any reload of items in Content Explorer widget. I am using Content Explorer version 17.1.0. /** Clears out the internal in-memory cache for the content explorer forcing re-load of items via the API. @public @return {void} */ contentExplorer.clearCache();

I have a folder ID and I have a leaf name. What I want is the full file details. At the moment I list the folder and look for the leaf name. This works but for large folders is very slow and requires lots of API calls. Is there an API which takes as input a folder ID and a leaf name and returns a file info just for that file? The best I’ve seen is get-search but that has several problems - it does a recursive search when given folder IDs which I don’t want, and I want an exact match for the file name, not a fuzzy one (its still fuzzy if you use “double quotes”). Any ideas? BTW this is for rclone!

Hi, when creating group with this Box API: developer.box.com Create group - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation Explore the Box APIs and SDKs to use for app development, API documentation, developer support resources, and access the Box Developer Console There are 3 options to choose from for member_viewability_level: admins_only - the enterprise admin, co-admins, group’s group admin admins_and_members - all admins and group members all_managed_users - all managed users in the enterprise Also in admin UI there is Permission Setting on group page with also 3 options, but they don’t match. When creating group with API, this is how chosen options are reflected in UI: admins_only → Admins only admins_and_members → Admins only all_managed_users → Company But I can’t figure out they way to set Permission Setting to “Group members” no matter what options I pass through API, how can I do this?

Hi, I am completely new to Box so please let me know if I am in the wrong place. I would like to be able to run a Curl command to pull a list of files modified in the last hour from my All Files view and it should look down through child folders. I found this: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/ which is nearly there but it needs a Token. And when I look for how to create a token I see https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/access-tokens/ but the example there dont show the -d values. I suspect I am on the wrong trail. Can What is the easiest way to create a token that I can use? Thanks

Hello, this is Yane. My boss instructed me to use the BOX API to create a folder under a specific employee’s folder, and to create an application to check the contents of the folder. Is there any setting required to check the contents of a specific employee’s folder instead of the contents of the service account? Or should I just code in the API? Can you tell me please. I know that I can get the items in the service account folder by running the following python code. items = client.folder(folder_id=‘22222’).get_items() for items in items: print(f’{item.type.capitalize()} {item.id} is named “{item.name}”')

Hi, I am attempting to integrate an application in box with IBM App connect designer. In app connect, I need to provide the following authentication data: Access token Refresh token Client ID Client Secret I have already found the client ID and client secret, however the only token I was able to find was called a developer token. Can anyone help me understand how I could aqcuire the access and refresh tokens for my application? kind regards

When using the endpoint to list items in a folder is there any way to include representations in the nested items?

I have been testing Create Box Sign Request API using my free Developer Account, and it has been working fine until July 3rd, 2023. developer.box.com Create sign request - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation Explore the Box APIs and SDKs to use for app development, API documentation, developer support resources, and access the Box Developer Console However, when I tried the same request today (July 31st, 2023), the API request itself succeeded but the created Sign Request resulted in Error On Convert status. When I created Sign Request via WebUI, the created Sign Request successfully proceeded to In Progress status. Has there been any changes in the Box Sign API, or on its usage restriction for free Developer Accounts?

[First post – please bear with me.] Box recently sent me a notice about deprecating some SSL protocols. Legacy SSL Ciphers Deprecation The suggestion is to use “api-test(.)box(.)com” instead of the normal “api(.)box(.)com” to test whether you need to make security changes to your app. The problem I’m facing is I use the BOX SDK v.2 (with C#) which has “api(.)box(.)com” hardcoded in the library so I can’t change it to use the testing URL. [The (.) is to get around the new user 1 link only restrictions.] Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more info. thanks, randy

Is there a way to find files which are tagged with custom metadata (not template version) using the Box UI?

Does Content Explorer include any mechanisms to stop the uploading of files that are infected with viruses? Is there any indication of an error in Content Explorer when attempting to preview a file that contains a virus? Is it possible for Content Explorer to hide/remove the download choice for a file containing a virus, despite the download permission granted by the downscoped token used in Content Explorer?

Hi there, Sorry for the very basic question, but I was wondering if somebody could guide me on how to generate a “Bearer Access Token” for usage with Box’s API? I’m trying to authorize the Preflight check before upload API call which requires a Bearer Access Token, but I can’t figure out where I can generate this token. I was reading through Box’s API documentation, but I couldn’t find definitive steps on how to do this. Thanks! 🙂 Scott
